When cyber attacks meet financial crime

The high-profile cyber attack that saw hackers attempt to steal nearly $1 billion from Bangladesh’s central bank, is the largest bank heist in history. This demonstrates how sophisticated cyber-criminals are becoming increasingly ambitious in their use of technology to appropriate money undetected, before swiftly moving it around the world.

The robbery took place in the context of an uncertain and rapidly-changing global financial landscape. The stable, predictable carousel of regulation, compliance and evasion has been dramatically interrupted following a year of unparalleled change, ranging from political instability to large-scale data leaks documenting widespread offshore tax evasion.

It serves to underscore the tremendous challenges businesses, regulators and law enforcement all now face when it comes to defending society from cyber and financial criminal activity.
